Faces from Zim

The models are from Angola, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The top 12 finalists are biding their time in the hope of realising their wildest fashion dreams at the series finale in Lagos, Nigeria, next month.
Zimbabwe is proudly represented by Tholakele and Roseanna, both from Harare. Tholakele (23) is the oldest finalist this year. She enjoys the music of Enrique, Ciara, Ashanti and Donnie McClurkin and enjoys animated movies — as her two favourites, Madagascar and The Lion King, show. Her favourite place in Africa is Zimbabwe and she says the best thing about Africa is that “it is beautiful, unique and has natural wonders”.
Tholakele lists her mother as her role model because “she is the one who helped me develop a character and taught me to embrace life because you only live it once”.
She would love to be a food technologist, because of “the way you can get creative with food”.
The best advice she ever received was “appreciate the way God made you and treat everyone the way you would want them to treat you”.
Roseanna is also from Harare, loves pizza and Toblerone and lists her favourite books as “Pride and Prejudice” and “Things Fall Apart”.
To Roseanna, the best thing about Africa is that “we are all so different and diverse but we can come together like old friends”.
She says the best thing about Face of Africa is the fact that she gets to travel and see beautiful places she never even knew existed.
“I also get to model on a more professional level, which is my dream,” she says.
